Lucy feels not enough support has been provided since by Alliance Homes and North Somerset Council to make her family feel safe.

She said: “I want to move immediately, my children and me are scared, they are waking up in the middle of the night and are so frustrated.

“Nobody has come to fix the fence and the bins and kid’s toys have all been burnt.

“I have lost my job because I am too stressed to work and I don’t know what is going to happen next.

“Fortunately my neighbours are supporting me but it is horrible and we need emergency housing as soon as possible. The car was so close to the gas metre it could have ended tragically.”

The Mercury reported last month there has been a rise in antisocial behaviour incidents on the Coronation estate, with youngsters breaking doors, smashing windows and being threatening and intimidating towards people.

An Alliance Homes spokesman said: “Ensuring the safety of our customers is of great importance to us and we’re working in partnership with Avon and Somerset police to ensure the family are safe in their home.

“Following the fire at Ottawa Road, we made a referral to the housing advice team at North Somerset Council and have offered our own support through our tenancy sustainment service.

“After assessing the property, we have identified minor damage to its driveway, which we will be repairing as soon as possible.”

A police spokesman added: “We were called following a report a car had been set alight at a property in Ottawa Road at about 8.30pm on October 2.

“Having reviewed CCTV footage and made house-to-house enquiries, we have currently exhausted lines of enquiry. However we would encourage anyone with information to call 101 and quote reference 5218220983.”
